My pants have seen better days

Today I'm wearing my favorite pair of black pants.

And it strikes me as funny that they are my favorite pair despite the fact that one hem is being held up by duct tape (on the inside, of course) and that the buttons and hooks used to secure the pants at my waist are dangling by threads so the pants are currently buttoned by a giant safety pin. Go ahead and laugh, but I'll tell you this: I'm a photographer, dammit, not a tailor!

Don't tell anyone about the duct tape and the safety pin, because you can't tell just by looking.
